Some more notes:
You may have to support the Right side of the engine and drop the subframe a little to get the pan out.

Have someone help you when installing the pan and watch the o-rings to make sure they do not fall while installing the pan.

Make sure when the pan is off you remove the pipe in the oil pan and replace those o-rings at the same time when you have it apart.

Also make sure you remove the oil pick up tube and replace that o-ring.

I think that is about all.
If there is anymore quiestions feel free to ask.

Sorry I don't have the part# for the o-ring kit but the dealer sells it as a kit.

one note I would strongly rec. staying away from razor blades ,scrapers and any sharp objects when cleaning the pan and engine block surface no grinding !!!. These surfaces are zero clearance any damage and they will not seal properly. when installing the chemical gasket becareful not to use to much, a light film as i said it is a zero clearance fit! thanks

Tech - thanks for posting the instructions on replacing the oil pan o-rings.

I recently took my S70 to a dealership to diagnose a loud ticking noise that comes and goes. Its especially noticable at stop lights.
The lead tech told me that the oil pan o-rings had to be replaced and that it was the cause of the ticking lifter noice.

I did say to make sure to replace it above.
Didn't make instructions on it because it is only 2 screws to get the pipe out.
If you went through the entire rest of the process and couldn't figure out how to get the pipe out then one shouldn't attampt the job.
Nothing against you just a comment.

Any chace those pics still exist somewhere? Looks like this will be my weekend project. Also, it appears that all the autoparts stores have a bent against Volvo...none carry any reapair manuals. Since I'll have to order one, which would you recommend? I usually just pick up a Haynes.

It sure isnt as easy as the instructions!
I have a 98 V70 I am doing this too- cant the pan loose but cant get it down!!
I have PS lines in the way- I undid all the clamps but I still cant get it out!
Its like the pan needs to come straght down- Im hitting lines on one side and fram rail on the other!
What am I missing???

Got it out- had to bend the tab out of way. Going to be interesting putting it back up!
This poor car- what a mess inside. The center of the pickup tube was pretty much plugged- I sure hope it cures my lifter noises! I had a tom of oil coming up into head just maybe not enuff pressure.
Well let everyone know if it lives or not...

FInished it up today- thought I fixed it bu realized the noise from the long bolt hitting the flywheel was covering up noise. OOOPS! the rear center bolt on pan wasnt right- must have put the wrong one in. I took that out and that quieted down- do I need that bolt? theres like 30 others!

Anyway- my lifters are a little quieter but still way to loud. I suspect they may be clogged judging by what the pan looked like.
